EU Project on Improving Emergency Evacuations

Date

Dr Natalie van der Wal has received a two-year EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (worth ~200k in euros) to work with Professor Wandi Bruine de Bruin in the Centre for Decision Research and Leeds University Business School.

Dr van der Wal is currently an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The project will aim to improve speed and survival in emergency evacuations, through the combined insights from agent-based computer modeling, risk communication/decision research, and an advisory board of emergency responders.
